Puzzled, Du Qi could only say, "It should be said that it's not bad!"

Yao Fugui quickly corrected him, "What should be said is not bad, it is not bad at all, very good!"

Wan Zhangqing smiled and said: "I wonder which aspect Young Master Du is referring to?"

"And in what way?"

Wan Zhangqing laughed: "Young Master Du is indeed smart, I won't beat around the bush anymore."

Du Qi said, "Please elaborate."

Wan Zhangqing said: "Is Young Master Du interested in joining our gang?"

Yao Fugui hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, I do. I hope you can agree to it."

Du Qi was about to refuse, but seeing Yao Fugui's happy expression, he couldn't bear to disobey him and couldn't dispel his doubts, so he asked, "May I ask why you have such a thought?"

Wan Zhangqing said: "To be honest, I was also ordered to invite Young Master Du to join my gang."

Du Qi was surprised: "Oh? I wonder what kind of rank I'll be awarded once I join the sect? "

Wan Zhangqing laughed: "What rank does Young Noble want to reach?"

Du Qi was startled and deliberately made things difficult for him. He said, "I have heard that you have many 'guests' in your sect. I wonder if I can become one of them?"

Wan Zhangqing laughed: "Does Young Master Du only want to be my guest?"

Dodge pretended to be surprised and asked, "Can't I?"

Wan Zhangqing still smiled, "So what if it doesn't work?"

"Then I'll have to let you down."

Wan Zhangqing suddenly became serious: "How dare I make Young Master Du accept the position of guest official? Evergreen has been listening to Deputy Sect Master's orders, and has specially requested Young Master Du to be my Sect's consecrate, I wonder what young master thinks? "

Yao Fugui was the first to cheer, "Alright, alright, I agree!" Although he did not know what the position of "consecration" was, it had been his longtime wish to have Dodge join the Loma Gang, and he could do anything he wanted, not to mention that the name "consecrated" was not far off, and it was not difficult to tell from the meaning of Wan Changqing's words that the status of the consecration seemed to be higher than that of the foreign delegate that Dodge wanted, so he quickly agreed.

Du Qi pondered and asked, "May I ask which expert is your esteemed Vice Sect Master Qu?"

Wan Zhangqing said: "The Deputy Sect Master Qu is famous in the martial arts world, could it be that Young Master Du has not heard of it?"

Du Qi was astounded. "Rumor has it that the song is the Master of Luo Ma Gang, and it turns out to be the Deputy Sect Master. In that case, may I ask which expert is the Sect Master?"

Wan Zhangqing said embarrassedly: "I tried to help Deputy Sect Master Yu Qu, but I don't know the name of the Sect Master."

Du Qi was even more surprised when he heard this. The number one gang in the world, the Luo Ma Gang, had such a reputation under the leadership of the deputy sect leader, and Wan Changqing, as a senior management officer of the Luo Ma Gang, didn't know who the gang leader was. No one would believe this kind of thing. Didn't the Luo Ma gang have a leader? He couldn't help but ask, "What kind of treatment will I get after joining the Sect?"

Wan Changqing explained: "The reverends in the sect have a high status and are respected. Wherever they go, they are like the sect master himself, enjoying the treatment provided by the sect master, with a salary of a thousand silver taels. Since all matters of the sect are paid by the sect, if they go out to do business, they can get fifty percent of the profit.

When Yao Fugui heard this, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He was even more excited and relaxed than when he took the post of 'Deus' from the Luo Ma Gang. However, seeing that Du Qi was only a consultant and didn't express his opinion, he couldn't help but urge him in the dark. Du Qi was thinking, "How could the Deputy Sect Master appoint a reverend with the treatment of a Sect Master, and how could he be a nameless youth like me?" He then asked, "How many people are there in the Sect?"

Wan Zhangqing said: "I don't think so in the past, but now only Young Master Du is here."

Du Qi could not help but become suspicious, and refused: "This kid is unscrupulous, how dare he carelessly obtain such a high position? I ask that Branch Chief Wan respond to Deputy Sect Master Qu, that kind lad, please take back your orders! "

Wan Zhangqing said with difficulty: "Vice Sect Leader Qu has repeatedly told me to ensure that this matter will be completed, not to mention the fact that there is something I need Young Master Du to do, so please do not decline!"

Even so, as long as you call me into the gang, at most, you'll give me the status of a guest according to my request. I also can't refuse, so why must you give me such a high status, a status that has never been seen before in the sect? Therefore, he said, "Since that's the case, I have no choice but to obey, but to pay a year's salary first. I wonder what you think?"

Wan Changqing excitedly said, "Master Xie Du, please help this subordinate complete his mission. As long as Master Du gives me an order, I will be able to get an extra year's salary in advance."

Du Qi saw that Wan Changqing didn't want to make things difficult for him, and readily agreed to his request. Moreover, he didn't seem to be lying, and didn't understand why such a big gang like the Loma Gang would ask him to be a minister. He then asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Wan Zhangqing said: "Master Du, the most important thing to do right now is for you to learn all kinds of hidden messages and contact methods of the sect. You should familiarize yourself with the sect's personnel affairs. How about I give you a detailed report tomorrow?" Seeing that Du Qi didn't have any other intentions, he clapped his hands and said, "Thank you, Manager!"

A pock faced man around forty years old with five green horse hooves on his chest pushed open the door and entered. After saluting, he respectfully said, "Greetings, reverend, Branch Lord, and esteemed elder."

Wan Changqing said, "Master Du, how about you let Director Xie handle this matter?"

Du Qi frowned and nodded. "I don't really like the term 'reverend'. Branch Chief Wan, you can arrange it. "

Wan Changqing respectfully said to Prime Minister Xie: "Take Young Master Du to the tent later to collect his salary. Everything that Young Master has done today will be taken care of by you."

Xie Xiangfu accepted, "Yes! Young Master Du, please come down with me. "

Du Qi followed behind Xie Cheng and easily obtained a thousand taels of silver. He passed a stack of banknotes, ranging from ten to one hundred taels, to Yao Fugui and asked, "Where should we go now?"

Xie Xiangfu thought for a while before asking, "How about you come to your subordinate's house first, young master?"

Without thinking, Dodge said, "I'm on my way, please lead the way!"

Yao Fugui was extremely excited. His hand that was holding the banknote was still trembling. He used his other trembling hand to wipe his eyes and tried to calm himself down. Even after a long while, he still felt his heart pounding, and his legs felt weak as he walked. Du Qi followed behind Xie Xiangfu, listening to his gestures as he explained the sign language and communication methods of the Loma Gang. They walked two blocks out and turned into an alley. They arrived at a door without any warning. Prime Minister Xie stopped and knocked on it. From inside, a very pleasant female voice said, "The door isn't locked. Please come in!"

Prime Minister Xie pushed open the door. It was a simple but clean hall, with three other doors leading to another room. However, the door was shut tight, so he didn't know what was going on inside. A woman was sewing on the table in the middle of the room, and when she heard the door, she immediately stood up. Yao Fugui saw that the woman looked like she was around 30 years old. She was extremely beautiful, and her mature charm made people fall in love with her. The golden step on her head swayed non-stop, and she wore a long green dress without any fancy decorations, making her tall and slender figure appear even more graceful.

Xie Xiangfa introduced him, "Young Master, esteemed elder, this is Fan Qiuhong doing sloppy work for the sect." Then he turned to the woman and said, "This is Master Du, Master Du, and this is old man Yao Fugui."

Fan Qiuhong bowed and said, "Greetings Lord Reverend and esteemed elder."

Yao Fugui saw Fan Qiuhong was as beautiful as a flower, while Xie Xiangfa's face was pockmarked and looked extremely unpleasant. He could not help but think it was a pity, but he hurriedly said, "No need to be so courteous, no need to be so courteous, heh."

After listening to Xie Xiang's introduction, Du Qi couldn't help but look at Xie Xiang. Suddenly, he realized that Xie Xiang's face was actually very upright, and his facial features were extremely beautiful. If it wasn't for the holes on his face, he would definitely be a rarely seen handsome man. Hearing this, Du Qi gave a sincere smile. "Young man, Du Qi greets the aunt. Uncle, there's no need to be so courteous."

Xie Xiangfa quickly said, "Young master and esteemed elder, please take a seat! The house is very simple, so please don't take offense to the invitation song. "

Fan Qiuhong also said, "I wouldn't dare to trouble you with calling me by that name, Master Reverend."

Du Qi sat on a stool beside the Eight Immortals table and laughed: "Hey! I am young and inexperienced, and I don't have much talent. Although I am in this position, I feel very uneasy. How can I be on par with the man in the gang with my own abilities? "Uncle, Auntie, please don't be too fussy about how we address you."

Even though Xie Xiang Fu had a tough body, after working within the sect for more than twenty years, he had still only managed to obtain five green hooves and often felt that the treatment was unfair. At this moment, when he heard Du Qi's words, he couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity, and his eyes began to tear up, his voice also choked with emotions as he said: "Since Young Master Du has said so, this subordinate can only obey.

Du Qi said, "Then I'll have to trouble Aunt. Can Uncle continue to explain?"

However, Fan Qiuhong said, "Young master, it's already past noon. Would you like to eat first?"

Du Qi said, "I'll listen to Auntie's arrangements." As they were talking, a person who looked like a waiter had already brought food over. It turned out that Wan Zhangqing had already ordered this long ago.

The meal was served, although it was not very sumptuous, it was very delicate. Seeing that the four of them were the only ones sitting around the table, Du Qi could not help but feel slightly surprised in his heart, he clearly felt that there was someone in the room to his left, but he did not know why Prime Minister Xie would not let that person come out to eat.

After the meal, the Xie couple busied themselves, Yao Fugui sat on the side doing nothing, and since it was hard for him to talk to Du Qi and Xie Xiangfu, he could only look around. However, more often his eyes fell on Fan Qiuhong, and occasionally he felt that he was discovered by her, but he only smiled shyly and continued to stare at her.

Fan Qiuhong didn't seem to know that Yao Fugui was staring at her, but she concentrated on measuring, tailoring, sewing, and embroidery for him. Not long after, she prepared three sets of clothes for him, made from expensive materials, two of which were custom-made according to the standards required by the Loma Gang, and found that three hooves were embroidered on the left breast of each new set of clothes, in three different colors. The three hooves were arranged in a zigzag pattern, with the golden hooves and the thick black hooves side by side.

Xie Xiang discovered that Du Qi's ability to accept and remember was quite strong. Regardless of the complexity of his gestures and profound incantations, he was only able to explain them once in a while so that he could firmly memorize them in his heart. Occasionally, he was able to raise ideas and questions that he did not expect, and was overjoyed.

After learning all the code words and methods of communication, the man in the room still had not shown up. Du Qi couldn't help but feel a tinge of melancholy, so he could only bid farewell to the couple with slight disappointment.

Du Qi and Yao Fugui chatted and laughed all the way back to the stone hut. It was already late in the evening, and Yao Fugui couldn't hide the joy in his heart as he tightly embraced Du Qi and laughed, "Now that we're rich, we can finally break free from the clouds and see the clear sky. We won't need to do anything that would make us happy, haha …"

Du Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I originally didn't want to join any gangs, but now I can be considered a member of the Luo Ma Gang. I went against my original intentions and had no choice, not to mention, my future is unpredictable."

Yao Fugui scratched his head, "That's true, but it's still better than living on the streets."

Du Qi sighed, "Ai, there's no way to compare them. I really don't know how we'll end up like this."

Yao Fugui said, "What? Did your brain get flooded?" I say, it's because of the smoke coming out from your ancestor's grave that you let Deputy Sect Master Qu save you from falling into a trap, and also let a great young man like you avoid falling into the wrong path of eternal hatred. From now on, you have to work well within the sect, and not think of all these things, and not lose face for Vice Sect Master Qu and me! "

Du Qi laughed, "These words should be confessed to Boss Qu, I don't like to hear it. It might not be a bad thing to come to the Luo Ma Gang to be a senior executive, but I think it won't be long before we rebuild our home."

Yao Fugui was also excited, "That's right, that's right. Thinking back to the past, we did not even manage to save a single person after so many years of deceiving them. To rebuild our home is undoubtedly a wild fantasy, and now it's completely different. In less than two years, the Du Residence will definitely be able to stand at its original location!"

"I hope so," said Dodge. "Thank you, Uncle!"

Yao Fugui was surprised, "What?"

Du Qi said, "Anyway, thank you, Uncle!"

Yao Fugui affectionately said, "Sigh, with your words, one person and two uncles in the world, let's not talk about those unpleasantness and unnecessary words. Little Qi, are you tired? If you're not, why don't we go out and take a walk?"

Du Qi said, "Sure, but where are we going? We can't possibly climb up the walls of the Spring Breeze House to peek at the girls' smiles like we did in the past, can we?"

Yao Fugui laughed and scolded, "Fuck you! Our Little Qi is a person with status and reputation now, if you want to go to the Spring Breeze Institution, you have to go in through the main gate in the open. You don't have to hide yourself anymore, and besides, you're still young, so you're not fit to go to that place. "No, you can't go to that kind of place even when you've grown up. It's the right way to find a good wife to live!"
